Will this fit my GM vehicle?
This retainer replaces GM OEM 11562256, used across several GM compact and mid-size platforms from the mid-2000s. To confirm fit for your specific year and model, cross-reference OEM# 11562256 against your vehicle's parts diagram, or compare the head diameters (19mm top, 19.5mm bottom) and stem length (22mm) to your existing clip.
How does a pin-and-grommet retainer work?
A pin-and-grommet retainer has two parts: the grommet (body) which sits in the door panel hole, and the pin which snaps into the center of the grommet once installed. To install, place the grommet into the body opening, then press the pin down until it clicks — this expands the grommet legs and locks the retainer in place. To remove, pry the pin up from the center first, then pull out the grommet body.
Are these single-use or reusable?
Pin-and-grommet retainers can often be reused if removed carefully. However, on vehicles 10+ years old, nylon becomes brittle and the grommet legs may crack or the pin may not re-seat properly after removal. We recommend replacing the full set during any door panel service to ensure consistent holding strength and a rattle-free result.
Is this an OEM-equivalent part?
Yes. This retainer set matches GM OEM specification 11562256 in dimensions and fit. The pin and grommet install identically to the factory parts.
Can I order in bulk?
Yes — available in 15, 30, 60, and 90-piece quantities. Each piece includes both the pin and grommet. Volume pricing applied automatically at checkout. GM door panels on these vehicles typically use 10–20 retainers per door.
